Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 FORD F150 WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED SEVERE JERKING/MISSING AND LOSS OF POWER. IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER LOAD THEN EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD NOT START. I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE WAS A LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP DRIVER LOCATED ABOVE THE SPARE TIRE ON A STEEL CROSS MEMBER. THIS PART WAS SEVERELY CORRODED DUE TO AN ENGINEERING FLAW REPORTED BY HUNDREDS OF F150 OWNERS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSA WITH FORD AND A RECALL INITIATED TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT WITH THE IMPROVED PART DESIGN NOW AVAILABLE. *TR
